Despite major movements for change, in practice archaeologists still pursue the past
to the exclusion of the present inhabitants of archaeological landscapes. Archaeological
archives hold a key to understanding how archaeology took shape as a separate study,
and so have great potential to contribute to current debates on ethics in the discipline
; This study focuses on the great archive that records the work of Flinders Petrie
in Egypt, first in 1880-1882 under a nationalist government, and then during the English
military occupation that lasted from 1882 until after his death in 1942. The archive
brings to life the main Egyptian supervisors who enabled Petrie to function as an
archaeologist, while payroll lists record the names of hundreds more men and children
on the full labour force. None of these Egyptians have received recognition as an
archaeologist in history-writing, foreign or Egyptian. This archival ground offers
a new open resource to those within Egypt and elsewhere opposed to the neocolonial
regime of the disciplines.--page 4 of cover
